Indian Motorcycle expands its footprint in MY2021 with a number of new models along with upgraded variants and complete redesigns within previous model-family platforms. Electronics that were previously hosted on just a few bikes are now more broadly available across the range. The powerful Thunderstroke 116 soups up a number of models for the performance-minded riders, and the ClimaCommand Rogue seat delivers both heating and cooling for the intrepid all-weather riders.

Motorcycle rear suspension took a long time to catch up with front suspension. For many years, it did not exist at all before plunger-type suspension made an appearance in the late 1930s. Triumph’s Edward Turner thought he could do better while still ignoring the relatively new development of the swing arm rear suspension. The result was the Sprung Hub, with springs being housed within the hub itself, which allowed it to be fitted to existing frames and thus requiring no expensive re-designs.

We have always been fascinated by speed. The adrenaline rush that it provides has pushed us to build some of the fastest machines on this planet. And we started clocking it way back in 1920 when Gene Walker rode an Indian at 104.12 MPH on Daytona Beach. But way before that in 1903, Glenn Curtiss set an unofficial motorcycle speed record using an aircraft engine and topped out at 64 mph.
The fire for speed is still burning strong and manufacturers continue to push the boundaries of engineering, to add numbers on the speedometer. Icons like the Honda Blackbird and Suzuki Hayabusa still remain the ones to look up to. But there are newbies coming in, and there are coming in hot! We list down the best of these fast junkies.

BMW Motorrad has long been known for the quality of its products, and the factory earns that reputation anew with its MY2020 lineup. In-house electronic innovations and mechanical refinements hold the marque in good stead against even the best market performers around the world. Sporty demeanors and luxe appointments combine across the model spread, and the factory has something for everyone with its Urban Mobility segment up through the top-tier touring machines.

Yamaha rolls into MY2020 with a range of cosmetic tweaks and expanded electronics suites to keep up with the times and remain competitive on the world stage. It boasts both new electronics and electronics freshly trickled down from higher up in the model ranges.

Kawasaki rolls into 2020 with a whole host of new models – some net new and some sophomore models that make it to U.S. shores for the first time – that are spread across the entire lineup.

Suzuki spices things up for 2020 with a veritable buffet of minor aesthetic tweaks and other improvements on the menu

Honda rolls into 2020 with the usual handful of Bold New Graphics items that include additional paint packages and not-so-subtle changes to the liveries across the board. The renowned Africa Twin family sports a new flagship with its Adventure Sports ES and ES DCT models, but for the most part MY20 is more about the improvement of existing models. Toward that end, you’ll find a handful of models which come with improved electronics packages as standard equipment instead of optional this year, but little in the way of newness to be found. (Spoiler alert; all of this changes for MY21.)

Harley-Davidson stepped up its game a notch ahead of the 2020 model year with a beefed-up lineup, starting with the mid-year release of its new entry-level cruiser, the Softail Standard. The apparent lag in rider-controlled ride-quality electronics was thoroughly addressed by the Reflex Defensive Rider Systems bundle, and for the electric-bike fans out there, the much-discussed/rarely-seen LiveWire has finally landed on showroom floors. A special Fat Boy marks the 30th anniversary of the model line alongside three new CVO models and an expanded Road Glide family with an S-model Low Rider to round out the new MY20 models.
